I must concur with the comment made by Hayslip that the cars is actually an Oldsmobile. Maybe the Oldmobile owner was hit by a Haynes or traded the Olds in on a new Haynes.

The combination of extra glass panels on the side of the windshield, the tapering wheel hubs with a hexagon incised, the looped door handle, and the number of canted hood louvers all point towards a circa 1916 Oldsmobile.

I suggest the damaged car is an Oldsmobile, not a Haynes. A look at similar photos especially the hood of the Oldsmobile truck in an earlier Shorpy will confirm this. The fact that it is at a Haynes dealership is coincidental.

Is this another attempt at just one door on the curb side of the car? I see what looks like the shape of afront door, but there is no handle or mounting point visible. This car did get repaired though, it obviously belonged to da Boss.

Since that car recently cost somewhere in the neighborhood of eight times as much as a Ford it probably didn't stay totaled for long, some enterprising fellow with a blowtorch and lead-paddles would've had it back on the road in short order.

The marks left in the side panels of this Haynes sedan clearly show just what happened. The other car's headlights and radiator, flanked by its fenders are easily seen. Classic T-bone collision. Now, could one of our antique car aficionados identify the culprit's make for us?
